What happened man?
To be honest until chapter 1023 there was 0 build up for a fight between Zoro&King, that how poor Oda writing was to prepare this confrontation. I dont mind all the people that criticize previously this fight, cuz there was nothing that connected the 2 beside the classic, N2 fight N2 that all there was. Confront that to all the other straw-hat fight in which there are deeper reason for their fight, and you can understand where that come from.
I dont mind at all about this fight, this chapter was short as fuck, I am not that hype. Look if King in the next chapter gona somehow show us more and not start taking, getting hit more and more so that the mask is totally reap off, I ll not be that impress on King.
This chapter is just WoW king push Zoro out of the dome, that all I see for now. And yeah King used Hybrid cuz was pissed that during the previous confrontation in which he clashed with Zoro fighting normal mode (so a swordman fight) lost the confrontation.
Still this cheap hype moment arent enough for me to tell anything about King yet. 4 fighting panel + 1 panel in chapter 1023 isnt enough for me to say anything about King.
The design is better than the other Calamities, still if we compare his design to other characters Oda left out so many details and the art himself was kind of cheap as fuck especially when King clasehed with Zoro the second time (where some part of the mask blow away). that draw is kind of bad, very rushed, very far away (small too) not impressed so far. The last panel with King mask detail so a close up was the best part of this chapter to be honest.

Are you dumb.
This chapter shits on your whole theory.
Zoro will not collapse from any side effects after king as he is alone on the side of a floating island and there's no one near him to help him. The fight will be done before they reach the capital ie a few mins
This chapter is good for Zoro. The fact that he left the dome will potentially help him interacting with the other member that are out of Onigashima. 2 of them are very aware of the danger for the flower capital.
There are so many scenario but Oda will not missed the opportunity to show an epic panel of a dragon flying over the capital trying to destroy it and getting chop out. I am pretty sure about that.
